Cascadia Vehicle Tents Group Buy - March 1 through March 16

Yeah glad I could help, sorry I made it sound confusing.

 

I'm going to be waiting to get the Mt Shasta with Annex.....

 

I'm either getting the CVT Mount Shasta or the Tepui Autana. Both are essentially the same.

Mount Shasta is slightly lighter while the Autana is thinner when closed and wider when open.

 

So many decisions. I think CVT is the way to go.lol

 

I'm kind of leaning towards the CVT because it looks like the Tepui annex doesn't have door options on all 3 corners like CVT. Only a door right in front of the ladder.

 

Ya I noticed that

 

Seems like shipping is less for with Tepui and it looks like some of the models are an inch shorter when closed. I'm still completely undecided but it's not a bad problem to have since both seem to be good options.

 

Just a guess but I'm thinking an inch shorter when closed means not as thick of a mattress, or the measurements are a little off from someone's website.

The thickness when closed depends on if you have anything else in it. I leave 2 pillows, 2 sleeping bags, and a blanket in it and I leave my annex attached. So if I removed all that my closed height could be an inch shorter, but who cares.

 

Great, First i just had to decide which CVT tent to get, now there is the Tepui group buy going on as well..
Just have to remember with group buys, the more you buy, the more you SAVE!

 

Tepui has the "non-collapsible" ladder available as an option.

I have a Tepui Ayers tent and it works very well. I want to go bigger eventually as the Ayers is mostly a good tent for a single person. No matter who the manufacturer is, I would suggest marking the tent floor dimensions out on the floor and laying down in those to see if they will provide you with the needed space. It would suck to get the wrong size tent, even if it was a great deal!

 

how the hell? explain this for me lol. The cover cant seal all the way the the annex still mounted. Atleast... with that track part it slides in. but then, your annex is only supported on 3 sides instead of 4.

 

Yes it will. We will start March 5th-31st

 

Thank you for mentioning this. This is something we also recommend. Always make sure of the size you are buying to fit your needs and/or future needs.

 

I am glad you noticed. Apples for apples is always best. The fabric of the annex also. All of the bars on the interior of the tents have been upgraded also. Plus we have a few more features coming on them. Will have more photos and a better lay out at start of the group buy.

 

We also did have issues last year with about 40 telescoping ladders. We have chose to stick and go back with the original ladders that slide. The issues with telescoping is something we do not want as this is where a lot of weight goes. The dirt on them also creates problems. There will be better ones coming. They have not been around a long time and they are always getting better.
Thank you for the compliments. I love doing it and really enjoy meeting all of you.

 

No sir. But if there are ppl close to you who order, you can all have them shipped to same place & split the shipping costs.

 

This is what I'm very interested on... you say the new styles....

 

Can you tell I am excited?

 

I'm glad it will run to the 31st. I'm in a small quandary here. My company pays our bonus out each year around the end of March to the beginning of April. I won't know the amount until it is paid but I have a couple priorities I need to take care of first and then, if the bonus is enough, buy the Mt. Shasta with the extra. (This is supposed to be a *good* year too!) Some years it is paid in March, some in April. If it is April payout, I'm screwed because I'm not sure I'll have enough to accomplish all goals. I'm hoping for March! I *really want* the Shasta!

 

Same here brother, my boss just told me ill see mine on the 20th of Feb so im golden.... thing is my priorities are backwards as the RTT is first on the list haha
